Ancient Shakhtau

Description#

Ancient Shakhtau is the name of my little experiment for @maturam.a. This is an attempt to study the history of the place of birth with the help of the latest digital technologies.

Shakhtau Mountain, the largest of the Bashkir Shikhans, is a remnant of the Lower Permian (Late Paleozoic) reef massif formed over 230 million years ago in the tropical sea (Ural Ocean). It was completely destroyed as a result of the extraction of raw materials. Now it is a flooded quarry.

We have old black and white photos of the mountain before its destruction. But how could it look according to the OpenAI DALL•E neural network? @openaidalle

On the images generated by the neural network: the mountain and its fossils, the remains of trilobites.
